That wolf has the most amusing expression on her face I've ever seen - I'm not sure if you intended it this way but something about her looks stoned or slightly crazy. I think it's something about her eyes and the tongue lolling out. I like her casual pose.

I like the amount of detail you have put into the background - those little boats and hills look gorgeous. You also have a nice sketchy style to your painting. I feel that the rope could use a bit more detail.

I'm not an expert on lighting but I'm not exactly sure where all the shadows are meant to lie here - there are shadows to the right of the rope yet there are also shadows behind the wolf. It's not too noticeable but you may want to define your sources of light a bit more clearly first. Other than that thought, looks pretty good to me!

That background is really, really nicely detailed! I love the subtle complexities in the little harbor scene and the trees surrounding; they really add to the picture as a whole.The expression is a hilarious touch too.
